Brookstone Loans I A **** !!!

South Africans don't use these guys, this is a **** and below I'll give a perfect picture of their MO: 1. They create **** accounts on social media of people giving their company good reviews so that you don't suspect anything when dealing with them because they already assisted many people. People who give positive reviews are carefully selected as their trusted members of society (like Pastors, Policeman, or Teachers). 2. Everything gets done on WhatsApp, no business active landline number of someone to talk to regarding the loan you applying for. 3. They will ask you for an upfront payment of the loan insurance which ranges from 7k upwards not giving **** that the reason you went to them in the first place was because you don't have money and in desperate need. They make you believe that once that is paid, your funds will be readily available. 4. Once you pay that 7k for their so called insurance, they send you a beautifully printed approval letter telling you that you have been approved but before your funds are released, you have to pay an additional R9000 for transfer costs then within an hour funds will be in your account. At this point, they actively interact with you and are always on WhatsApp to answer swiftly any question you may have. 5. Once that is paid, an SMS gets sent to you which states that Brookstone had paid your loan amount into your personal bank but nothing from your bank directly confirming what they are saying on that sms. To make matters worse, when you enquire with them, you get ignored, no one comes back to you. 6. At this point, they are finished with you. No one will ever reply to your enquiries or interact as they did when you started with them, they all just disappear into thin air. And focus on their next unsuspecting, desperate individual.

South Africans be alert, whoever is writing a positive review about these guys is part of a syndicate designed to blind you. This is not a legal operation, its a ******** organization designed to suck you dry financially.

These guys won't even reply to my review because they know what they are doing is taking advantage of the poor and those in need, ripping you off your last hard earned money and leave you hanging while all the while they sold you nothing but hot air.
